"Great trivia facts for kids that love baseball. Got it for my grandson who loves baseball and knows a lot of current stats and trivia but this book introduced him to information and trivia on some of the players of past and also some current ones. He loves sharing this knowledge with the kids on his team and friends who collect cards." — Customer Review

"I feel like I could relate to the author as I read this. Many of these players were my heroes also. My son loved reading this and asking me questions about the ball players that I knew. It was a great bonding experience. It is filled with easy to read sections. You can pick it up and open to just about any page and start reading. There are nice short sections. It also encourages the reader to work on creating their own all star team." — Customer Review
"This book is a fun read, with short and easy-to-read little biographies of some of the great players in baseball history. The bios are brief and there are fun little facts interspersed throughout, making this a bit of a page turner just to see what and who is next. While the reading is easy I think adults will have a good time reading along with younger readers, sharing and passing along their love of baseball to a new generation of fans." — Customer Review
"Covers wide variety of players over different eras in easy to read format for kids. If your child likes baseball, get it! Nice illustrations and short article type format also makes it easy to stop and start. Enjoyed the interesting facts." — Customer Review
